Cooke aiming to turn situation around

Monaghan United boss Mick Cooke has vowed to turn the club's season around. The Mons are yet to win this season and last week fell to a heavy 6-0 defeat to Waterford United.


However, Cooke says that his team is determined to kick-start their season tonight when they face Kildare County.


“I am looking forward to this weekends game against Kildare County and I firmly believe that we can kick start the season with our first win," he said. "If the supporters of Monaghan United are disappointed with our results so far I can assure them that it is little compared to that of my own, the backroom team and squad.  


"I had good hopes going to Waterford and getting a result there, but the result was a huge disappointment. I could make excuses for the loss of Brendan Kennedy before the game and Brian Gartland at half time and a number of other players getting a stomach bug, but there is no point in going there.  


"We had a similar set back this time last season we learned and progressed from it and turned our season around,I intend to do the same this time around. It is early in the season we are still only in the first round matches and most of the points lost were against the four top teams.

Kildare have had a bad start to their season’ unfortunately for them we are not in a generous mood, so we have no intention of gifting them any points. Again I hope we have a good home support, when a team needs a bit of a lift the crowd can be the 12th man.”
